New Moon = New Craze = Midnight Sun Is Coming

Teenagers (and okay, let’s admit it, adults too) are already getting reared up for the release of Stephanie Meyer’s New Moon adaptation.  The Internet is filled with photos, blogs, interviews, and articles about who’s doing what and (ahem) whom.
Example of Evidence #1:  
But let’s not forget that there’s a whole other [...]

Pimples? At My Age?

I thought that getting out of high school would mean a face as clear as ivory snow.  A face that looked like creamy, buttermilk perfection…but I was wrong.  And then college came and I was sure that ending my matriculation would mean ending my problems with blemishes…again, wrong.  Perhaps it took the ripe of age [...]

Vampires, Gays, and Other Things That Go Bump In the Night

Well, the Supreme Court of California ruled (for those of you who were deep-sea diving yesterday and missed the outcome) that the 18,000 gay marriages that happened prior to Prop 8 are legal and binding, but that marriage for the gays is a no-no.  I personally, don’t see the point in being afraid of two [...]

Change Is Here. Or Not-So-Much?

Today is the big day.  G day.  The day that the California Supreme Court will announce their decision regarding gay marriage.  Stay tuned!

Viewer Discretion Is Advised

I know a lot of teenagers who love to avoid studying.  In an attempt to do so, Hulu is a big favorite; I had no idea how much time your average 16 year-old could waste by watching clips on Hulu.  So without further ado, here are a selection of videos that have been shared with [...]

Why I’ll Never Watch It Again

American Idol wrapped up last night and just in case you were in a cave, knitting by starlight; Tiny Cute Guitar Guy, otherwise known as Kris Allen, won the title of America’s Idol.  You can see him there in the photograph; he’s the tiny, cute guy on the right.  That’s his competitor, Adam Lambert on [...]

The Gnews (Or Not So Much)

The good news today reads as follows:

Hollywood is making a remake of Footloose, the Kevin Bacon movie I talked about only weeks ago.  First of all, I’m so tired of the remakes.  Second of all, I don’t care if it is Chance Crawford who’s going to sing and dance the lead, Kevin Bacon will always [...]

Martha’s Vineyard

In the summer of 1995, my best friends and I piled our belongings into bags and took the ferry from Woods Hole, Massachusetts over to a little island called Martha’s Vineyard.  I never knew who Martha was or what her vineyard looked like, but I knew that I loved the island and that I loved [...]

The Dog Park

Last night I got home from Martha’s Vineyard (more on that tomorrow) to a crazy dog (otherwise known as Hank) and a happy dog (Kiki Wonder).  After four days away from the Hankinator I had forgotten (blissfully) how energetic he can be.  I awoke this morning to him standing on two paws, propped on the [...]

Say It Ain’t So

In Taipei, a man sat down on his toilet only to jump up screaming a minute later when…a snake in the bowl bit his private parts.  Yes.  A rat snake. In the potty. Bit his jiggly bits.  This is why you should always look twice.  My mom tells a story about a snake that crawled [...]
